Armour in Profile-Armoured Fighting Vehicles USA 1945-2018By MP Robinson, David Grunnitt, Leif RobinsonArmour in Profile: Armoured Fighting Vehicles of the United States Army, 1945-2018 contains profiles of five armoured fighting vehicles that have shaped the strategy and tactics of the United States Army since the end of World War II. From the battlefields of the Korean Peninsula and the jungles of Vietnam, to the plains of Central Europe and deserts of Iraq and Kuwait, these vehicles are iconic of American military might. Beginning with the M47 and M48 Patton tanks, replacements for the M4 Sherman, it goes on to examine the M60 tank and the mighty M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, a vehicle that is expected to serve as the principal weapon of the U.S. Army for at least another two decades. As well as these main battle tanks, it profiles the 'King of Battle', the M109 self-propelled howitzer, another relic of the Cold War continuously updated to meet the challenges of warfare in the twenty-first century. Finally, the book looks at the 'REFORGER' exercises held in the 1970s and 80s, at the height of the Cold War, and which moved thousands of U.S personnel and vehicles to Germany on an annual basis.

Cessna - Bird DogBy Des BrennanCessna's Bird Dog was designed and built to serve in what some might regard as the unglamorous field of Army co-operation at a time when attention was more often focused on a growing array of gleaming silver, nuclear-capable jet fighters and bombers deemed essential for a seemingly inevitable Third World War. Nonetheless the Bird Dog was flown sometimes by multiple services and by a wide range of nations on every continent.
The Bird Dog served in numerous internal and cross-border conflicts and was from the 1950s into the 1980s, and with the UH-1 Huey helicopter epitomised the role of the United States air power in operations over South-East Asia during the 1960s and into the 1970s.
This superb 68-page book is written by Des Brennan with superb colour profiles by Mark Roolfe.

Airlift Force RAF Transport Command 1948-1967By Colin OvensConsider, for a moment, these three Royal Air Force Command
titles:-
 "Royal Air Force Bomber Command"- a name that, for many, may
generate imposing images of Wellingtons, Halifaxes, Stirlings,
Lancasters, Mosquitos, Lincolns, Canberras, and the V-Bombers;
 "Royal Air Force Fighter Command"- a Command title that readily
conjures up exciting images of Hurricanes, Spitfires, Tempests,
Meteors, Vampires, Hunters, and Lightnings;
 "Royal Air Force Coastal Command"- a renowned name that may
prompt dramatic over-water images of Sunderlands, Beaufighters,
Mosquitos, Catalinas, Liberators, and Shackletons.
Now, consider the title "Royal Air Force Transport Command"... to
many readers this may prompt images of huge formations of Dakotas,
disgorging paratroops over Normandy, Arnhem, or the Rhine; others
will have a recollection of the Berlin Airlift. On the other hand, many
of us will recall seeing, and ignoring, the occasional Argosy,
Beverley, Britannia, Hastings, Comet, or, perhaps, a VC-10, in the
static park at a Battle of Britain Open Day, while they aimed their
cameras at the Hunters, Javelins, Lightnings, V-Bombers, or
Shackletons on show- these were the exciting defenders of these isles;
and those others..? "They're just superannuated airliners", as a
school-friend airily dismissed Transport Command's contribution to a
Battle of Britain Open Day, at RAF Biggin Hill in the mid-1960s,
when we two were teenagers.
